Hallo zusammen,
ich wünsche euch einen schönen Start ins Wochenende.
Es gibt ab sofort eine neue App für iOS & Android, diese ist als eigenständige App auf beiden Plattformen unter ioBroker Visu
im Store zu finden.
Für die Android App haben wir schon einige Testiterationen hinter uns gebracht in https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/63026/iobroker-android-app-2023/202 - vielen lieben Dank an alle Tester. Die iOS App ist zwar inhaltlich zu großen Teilen identisch, allerdings kann es durchaus sein, dass sich im Detail das Verhalten unterscheidet. Hier bin ich auf euer Feedback angewiesen.
Überblick der Funktionen:
Settings
Local
- Host IP:PORT: Specify the local vis url + port e.g.
192.168.144.4:8082
(you can also addhttps://
prefix here) - Username: Local username if specified login is performed
- Password: Password to corresponding username
External
- Type: Choose how you want to connect if outside of given WLAN SSIDs, if you choose
url
, you can provide same information as
underLocal
- Username: The ioBroker Pro username, often an E-Mail address, if given, the App connects to the Pro Cloud if not
connected with a SSID listed underGeneral
- Password: The corresponding password
- WLAN SSIDs: allows to set Wi-Fi SSID (comma-separated), if the current connected SSID is equal to one listed here, we use the local vis
General
- Application: choose between
vis
,material
and other adapters, just changes the uri of the WebView - Project: Value will be added behind
url:port/vis/index.html#
(only for vis) - Instance ID: used to e.g. change vis views or detect active views on device via
vis.0.control
(it will be synchronized tovis.0
if at least one sync option is active)
Functionalities & Appearance
- Multi-Project Support: You can set up multiple projects (current limit is 2), these can be launched via Quick Actions.
Starting the App without Quick Action will always launch the default project. When a specific project is launched,
the app cannot change to another project until restarted. Long press on the app icon to launch a Quick Action. - Allow Zoom: If false, Zoom is deactivated in the WebView
- Allow Scrolling: If false, Scrolling is deactivated in the WebView
- Send battery to vis.0: If true, battery level and state are sent to
vis.0
via JS injection usingservConn
- Keep display awake: If true, screen will never go to sleep on WebView
- Status Bar Active: If true, the status bar is shown
- Light Status Bar Text: If true, white color is used for status bar text
- Status bar color: Specify the color of the status bar as
css
color property - Orientation: Force
orientation
of screen - Zoom (Portrait): Initial Zoom for Portrait mode (0 - 5)
- Zoom (Landscape): Initial Zoom for Landscape mode (0 - 5)
- Reload on orientation change: should be activated if problems on orientation change occur

- Force Fullscreen: Sets
viewport-fit=cover
tometa.content
- Location to
vis.0
: The Location object will be sent to vis - Synchronize Brightness to
vis.0
: The brightness of the device will be set invis.0
changing the state will change the brightness (only works withvis
) - Device name: Device name used for states in
vis.0
- Show Navigation Bar (Android only) if
true
, the Navigation bar is permanently shown, else immersive - Dim after seconds: Dim display after
x
seconds of inactivity (no tap) set0
to disable - Dim to level: Value in
%
to dim to ifDim after seconds
triggers. On next tap, it is dimmed up to previous value - Reload if app gets active: Forces a hard reload if app goes from background to foreground (default:
true
oniOS
,false
onAndroid
) - URL Postfix: this text will be appended to the URL, e.g. to specify a start view
#customStartView
- Back to start page after X seconds: The app navigates back to the start page after X seconds of inactivity (0 to disable)
- Protect app start: The first app start will be protected by devices biometric authentication (affects all projects)
- Protect settings: Every call to settings will be protected by devices biometric authentication (affects all projects)
Known behaviors
- Settings can be opened via a triple tap (3 fingers touching the screen at the same time)
- Force reload via 2 finger double tap on screen on Android and Pull to refresh on iOS (on Android the Component is remounted)
- Status bar settings are also applied to the settings screen, but only after changing to runtime and back or reopening app
- Reconnection Handling for vis: It is known, that vis has problems reconnecting to the socket, thus the App detects
socket disconnection of vis and if it is not reconnected after 30 seconds, it will reload the page - If on page load an error occurs, a popup is shown where you can reload or go to settings
- If app goes from background to foreground, the NavBar on Android is ensured to be in the right state and for
vis and material a socket reconnect is triggered, to avoid 10 seconds timeout screen (android detects background more than 1 second as being in background) - If the "Keep screen awake" functionality is deactivated via vis, you should not change the view afterwards, else it is activated again
- Whenever the user is not in a Wi-Fi and using a VPN and has an external connection configured, he can decide if he wants to access local url or external
Wermutstropfen: Bzgl. der VPN Option, welche in der vorherigen iOS App besteht, ist aktuell aufgrund von technischen Limitationen keine Option geplant, insgeheim hoffe ich hier, dass Apple mal in die Pötte kommt und VPN Steuerung per Automation zulässt. Wer darauf angewiesen ist, ist für mobile Zwecke mit der aktuellen App evtl. besser beraten, ansonsten bietet sich von unterwegs natürlich der Pro Zugang an.
Issues und Feature Requests bitte hier anlegen.
Ich freue mich auf euer Feedback.
